DAVAO CITY – Former President Rodrigo Duterte has opted not to attend the House Committee on Human Rights inquiry into the war on drugs, citing his right against self-incrimination, said former Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque.
Roque said in a statement that the former Chief Executive is prepared to appear in any Philippine court to address any criminal accusations concerning extrajudicial killings linked to the illegal drug war campaign.
Roque said that FPRRD is fearless about confronting all who accuse him in any local court and is willing to cooperate and partake in any criminal inquiry, provided that Filipino prosecutors oversee the process. He said that every person who gives evidence, whether voluntary or under compulsion of subpoena, in any civil, criminal, or administrative proceeding is accorded the same constitutional right.
